Construction Update November 15, 2019

Even with this early snowfall, our contractor is working hard to wrap up for the end of November and reopen the on-street parking lanes. We appreciate the understanding and cooperation we have received throughout this major renewal of King Street.

A person is stationed at Westminster Drive to provide pedestrian help while crossing King Street during the commute to and from school. Help crossing this intersection will be available until the new traffic signals are operational.

Progress since last Update:

· Storm sewer and watermain (main pipe only) installation is complete in Stage 2.

· Watermain commissioning and testing is complete in Stage 2.

Upcoming work over the next couple of weeks:

· Water service connections to properties in Stage 2 along with sanitary service replacement will continue over the next week. Once all water service connections are completed (by end of this week), the blue temporary watermain along the edge of the roadway will be removed.

· The roadway in Stage 2 will be prepared for curbs and pavement over the next week.

· Curb is anticipated in Stage 1 for the end of next week, with asphalt anticipated the following week.

One lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained during construction. For safety reasons, on-street parking on King Street will not be permitted within the construction zone.
